Thought you might like an update on Irene, the small Terrier our Daughter-In Law adopted for us on 9/28/11.

My wife and I were not sure if we could adjust to a dog again, but after 6 months she (the dog) has pretty well got us shaped up to her line of thinking. She not only is in charge in our home but also thinks she is in charge of the neighborhood.

We had to change her name because the neighbor lady’s name is Irene and her husband could not understand why I was always outside calling for his wife ( a little Iowa Humor).
